The district encompasses 53.42 square
miles and is located primarily in northwest Dallas County with a smaller
portion in southeast Denton County. The school district's boundaries are
not the same as municipal boundaries; therefore, Carrollton-Farmers Branch
Independent School District provides instructional services to children who
live in portions of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, Dallas, and
Irving.
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent
School District's primary objective is providing a child-centered educational
program. The system prides itself on the first-rate quality of its schools.
An integral part of the dynamic, fast-growing Metrocrest, the district provides
classrooms where teachers can teach and children can learn. Community
involvement, parental support, dedicated staff members, and personalized
instruction contribute to making our schools excellent learning environments. A
diversified curriculum is available because the district's officials realize
the importance of tailoring instruction to meet all students' individual needs.
Offerings include Bilingual education, gifted education, fine arts, special
education, English as a Second Language, vocational education, computer
technology, business education, and advanced placement courses. Students may
also participate in a number of co-curricular activities and
athletics.
Because our district values and
appreciates continual professional development, hundreds of opportunities
are available to support any teacher at whatever stage of learning he or she
may be. It is a source of pride to see the value that our teachers place on
lifelong learning.
Lewisville ISD has an enrollment of over

For Sale By Owner >Selling Tools
After a month of trying to sell your home "By Owner" you may decide to list it with a real estate agent. If you are in this position, you may begin to notice that your agent doesn't market the home the same way you did. You ran classified ads every weekend, but your agent has only advertised twice all month. Even so, there is a lot more interest and activity than you were able to generate on your own.
When your home is being marketed professionally, your real estate agent has many powerful selling tools that make it worth hiring someone who is experienced and competent. Some advantages to hiring an agent are the national and worldwide referral networks, the Multiple Listing Service, and the Internet. We advertise extensively in almost every media available including TV, which may bring in a call from the people who will buy your home. We work cooperatively with other brokers and share information about listings. Communication is the key to a real estates success. Agents use all of these tools to market their listings aggressively to get sales action!
